Personal Quotes
# “How can a lover feel good when he sees his sweetheart in someone else’s arms? Although I don’t like it, what can I do? Both of us happen to be in a profession where this is a requirement. I am pained each time I see Kareena in someone else’s arms. It is difficult for me to accept the situation. But I think I will get used to it after some time”.
# “It’s not as if I don’t want to do anymore multi-hero films after Fida. As long as I do good work, it doesn’t matter to me whether the film has a single hero or many. But if you ask for my personal opinion, I don’t prefer working in multi-hero films because I don’t feel secure in them”.
# “I guess, I am destiny’s child. Tell you why. A friend of mine was going for an audition and I’d dropped in there. One of the assistants there insisted that I too should queue up. I did it just for a lark. Two days later, I learnt that I was shooting with Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Kajol for the Pepsi ad.”
# “The relationship between an actor and the public is very individualistic, whomsoever it may concern.You have to sell as your ownself. You can’t bask under the glory of your father and/or mother and wait for things to happen.”
# “I won't recommend that guys try to maintain a six-pack or a eight-pack all through the year... because it is tough, believe me.”
# “I have learnt to take all such gossip in my stride. I realize that the larger public is interested in knowing more about a public figures personal life. I had a public break-up and haven't been vocal about my personal life is one of the reasons for speculations to take root.”
# “I'm a practical guy with a modest background. I know the value of money and my value as an artist. I'm asking for a fair sum that won't tax my producers. Come on, I want to stay in this industry for a long time. In my low phases, people should remember me as deserving and straightforward, not someone who duped them simply because I was a success. Please, I'm not asking for Rs 1 crore. In fact, I haven't finalised any price because I haven't signed another film yet. I believe that if you do good work, fame and money will follow.”
# “Shahid Kapoor about Mausam "It has been quite a journey. This film has taken four years of my father's life. It is an experience that will happen only once in our lifetime”.
# “Being voted as sexy is a matter of perception, but being vegetarian is a lifestyle change and something that comes from a sense of responsibility.”
# “Teri kismat da likha tere ko koi kho nai sakda, Je uss di meher hove te tenu o v mil jae jo tera ho nai sakda.”
# “There's just 2 ways of living your life 1. As if nothing is a miracle 2. As if everything is a miracle!!!”
